error: failed dependencies:
console-tools is needed by initscripts-3.92-2
pump is needed by initscripts-3.92-2
I use neither bootp nor dhcp, so I certainly do not need
pump.
I also hope that I do not have to install the 1MB
console-tools which I do not need.

This is an obvious non-sequitur: why not require, say, X, Emacs,
TCP/IP, samba, ppp and ISDN so that those who need them will have a
working system?!
Are you saying that RH6 will inflict pump &c on **everyone**?!
You cannot be serious!

pump actually replaces two packages (bootp and dhcpc) and
console-tools replaces kbd. This is just the way things work. Not
everybody is using the default US keyboard and not everyone has the
luxury of a static IP.
